Kande- how are you doing?

[Deleted]

I'm okay this morning. Thanks for asking! I had a contraction and some irritability on the monitor this morning, so I got some terbutaline and was started on procardia. I'll be on bedrest until at least next Wednesday. I'm assuming it will be longer than that. :-(

I'm just kind of in shock right now. Monday, I was super low risk, walking around with a healthy happy baby and normal ute, and now this.

Hospital bedrest or home?

I'm being d/c'd from the hospital tonight after my second steriod shot, then home bedrest. Its going to suck because I am such a busybody.

I'm sorry kande

I do have a question though. kande is K and E right? I pronounce it as Candy.

Yeah, it was the letters from my first and maiden name. I pronounce it "candy" too.

Oh man, I'm sorry

I also had an abnormal pg and it threw me for a loop. I really struggled with not being able to work, and help around the house. And of course the fear of the baby's health is always lurking.

But it sounds like you are in fantastic hands- they caught this SUPER early so they can keep an eye on it, and let babyK cook as long as possible.

If you need anything, let me know. And that Amazon prime offer is always open if you get bored

You're the best. Thank you so much. I'll keep you posted.

Something VERY similar happened to me. It's really hard to wrap your brain around. Huge hugs.

I'm really sorry, kande. Please let us know if we can do anything to help.

[Yankees21]

I'm thinking of you.

[cinnamoncox]

I'm sorry you're going through this
I wish you all the best.

[katfco]

I'm sorry. It really can be such a shock when it happens so suddenly. I hope everything works out okay.

[Kristinmo]

I'm so sorry. Bedrest sucks.

[Gato]

I'm sorry, Kande. Hang in there!

Do you need or want anything? I'll be in Dallas Friday & Saturday and could drop off some books or crafts or food?

You're too sweet. I think I'll be okay. H had been renamed Jeffrey--He's my new butler/cook/go-fer

I hate that we cant just GTG.

[daisybuchannan]

I'm really sorry, that is very stressful.

((Hugs)) I know it's hard but you can do this. I'm so glad they caught it and are treating it! Have you had the ultrasound for your cervix yet?

She wants to do the ultrasound next week at my appt. She did one on Monday and it was normal, so she's not too concerned yet. Especially since the meds have stopped my contractions

Hugs. I was on bed rest for 10 weeks and it can be hard but it WILL eventually be over and you will have your precious baby. PM me if you want to chat.

[daisyheadmaizie]

I am so sorry. I was on home bedrest from 26 weeks until 37 weeks with my second. Just a warning, the procardia might make you feel really hot and dizzy after taking it. Please let me know if you need anything or just want to vent. Bedrest is such a mind fuck. It is so hard to not be able to do anything and feel stuck.
